IMPLICATED LEGAL and constitutional

d; implicated legal and constitutional
Questions involved in this matter
But our prohibition frien Is tell us
that as coed citizens we are bound
10 vote fer his amendment regard
less Of all these consequences N or
der to relieve the state from he de-
vastating influence OF whisky and
avail ourselves of the glorious results
1f prohibition. But ask them what
evidence they have OF glorious results
and they will take up little eight
by ten news pal er that has sprung
into existancs On the breeze OF pro-
hibltion, AMI read to you what Ex
Governor Dow has to say about
prohibition in Maine, or Ex-Gov~
ernor somebody else, or congressman.
or ex-mayor has to say about prohl~
bition In Georgia and some other
states where the ink has hardly had
time TO dry that wrote the law
Bnt ali this proves nothing. We
have been reading of prohibltlon In
Maine and their spotted pig and
bhnd~tiger, and yanky tricks, tor the
last twenty or thirty years. Sill
have no doubt that Gov. Dow IS
correct in saying that the state Is
more prosperous than it was twenty
years ago; for where is the state but
what is. whiskey or NJ whiskey.
And as for the testimony of those
other ex-offIcers, the very words
ex-governor, exa congressman, or eX-
mayor implies all aspiring politician
that is Liable to connect himself
with any thing that seems to have
the elements of popularity sufficient
to carry him back into his former
position. But then as knOckdo~n
f evidence they wi tell YOU that Bob
Ingersoll says that whiskey is Gods
worst enemy and the Devils best
friend. And the Rev. Sam Jones
says whI,keY Is a good thing IN Its
place but that It's proper place IS IN
hell. and that he had rather steal
than sell whisky for u living. Now
l subrslit that Bob Ingeysoll who don't
believe there is any Sod or Devil
either is not competent witness to
testify as to who Is their best friends
or worst enemiss. And as to Bro
Jones he is sort of privileged char
acter any way. lie says what he
pleases, and the people oeiieye
what they please. And 1t may be
true that he by his l.lianlatory iect-
ures against whisky has famed him"
Sc ii into flame of tanatlcal excite
meut that causes him TO believe that
1t would be mole honorable TO steal
han to sell. But Of this l know
nothing nor do I care, nor has it any
thing to 40 with The merits or d. :
merits Of this question. And ny
advice to my friends III Hardeman
county or elsewhere in Tennessee
is 0 keep nut of this Whirlpool OF
destruction. Let whisky alone, lei
the license laws alone as they are,
tor they are as good basis as you
will ever get by legislation.

What Came Of Planting CCttsn and okTa

Oscar j. Spears, q prominent farm
err of Haruett county, n. G. says he
planted some cotton near Okra three
years ago and used It's seed last sea.
son. He found in his cotton, field
one day some remarkable plants i be
leaves were like those Of the okra
plant and not all like the colten
plant leaves. These plants were
carefully watched, and at maturity
it was found that the cotton they
produced was much finer than the
ordinary staple. 1t was longer, its
length being in fact so great that
ordinary gins cannot handle t. The
plant Is also found to be harder and
thrittier than the regular cotton.
This season the seed were again
planted, and several acres OF the
okrA cotton are growing vigorously,
to the great astonishment OF people
in all that section.

OF failing health, whether in the form Of
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in
sense of General WEAKNESS and Loss Of
Appetite, should suggest the use Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and
strength to the enfoebled system, pro-
noting the digestion and assimilation OF
food, restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify
ing, enriching, and vitalizing the blood.
Failing Health.
Ten years ago my health began to fail.
I was troubled with distressing Cough,
Night Sweats, Weakness, and Nervous
ness. I tried various remedies pre-
scribed by different physicians, but
became so weak that I could not 60 up
stairs without stopping to rest. My
friends recommended me to try Ayers
Sarsaparilla, which did, and l am now
as healthy and strong as ever. Mrs.
E. L. Williams, Alexandria, Mimi.
I have used Ayers Sarsaparilla, in my
family, for ScrOfula, and know, If it IS
taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly
eradicate this terrible disease. 1 have
also prescribed it as a tonic, as we'll as an
Alternative, and must say that honestly
believe it to be tho best blood medicine
ever compounded.-W.F +. Fowler, Nj. D.,
